Bush Tomato Dreaming – Ngayaki Jukurrpa
Ngayaki (bush tomato) is a plentiful fruit, growing in open spinifex country, that is collected all over our lands. They are a fleshy green fruit with many black seeds and can be found on small prickly plants with purple flowers. After collecting the fruit, the seeds are removed with a small wooden spoon or digging stick. The fruit can be eaten raw or threaded onto skewers then cooked over a fire. Sometimes, they are simply left in the sun to dry. When preserved in this way, the fruit can be stored for a long time. This Jukurrpa (Dreaming) belongs to Napanangka/Napangardi women and Japanangka/Japangardi men.
ARTIST: Judy Martin
Judy Martin, skin name Napangardi and nickname Nambia, was born in the late 1930s in the southern Tanami desert. Her mother was the legendary Warlpiri artist, Lorna Yulyurlu Napurrurla Fencer. Nambia’s father died shortly after her birth, leaving her to be raised in the bush and around the Dreaming site of Minamina by her mother.
During the government relocation scheme in the early 1950s, Nambia’s family was rounded up and moved to the community of Yuendumu. As a result of the displacement, many of her siblings moved to Alice Springs and became addicted to alcohol.
Like her mother, Nambia has also become a famed artist, exhibiting around the world in Europe and North America, as well as extensively throughout Australia.
Nambia’s artwork is instantly recognisable for its bold simplicity and her eclectic colour palette.
